How to apply:

All applicants must follow the application and audition procedures outlined in this section. An incomplete application or lack of payment of the application fee stops the application process. If you have difficulties submitting your application please contact us at admissions@prismafestival.com.

Students will be notified by email no later than March 19, 2018 with the application results. The application fee is non-refundable.

NOTE re VISA:

Canada requires visas from certain countries. To find out if you require a visa, click here to search for your country and the necessary requirements. If one is required, contact your visa office as soon as possible about processing times (a student visa application may take up to 60 days).

Please note that a visa is not required for students from the United States (US citizens and permanent residents/green card holders).

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and are coming to Canada just for PRISMA, you will enter as a temporary resident/tourist/visitor. If you are just attending a short-term program, you are not considered to be entering Canada to study. You do not need -- and should not apply for -- a student visa. When you enter Canada, you will have to complete a Customs form. You should check that the purpose of your visit is “Personal” not “Study”.
